Chapter 218: Soldiers Descend on the City
Seeing Hideno, the forces of the Anto family and the Yuri Party were finally able to continue their march after the heavy rain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lord Anton, there is Nagaseno ahead, and after Nagaseno walk for another hour, you can reach the Shimomurakan." The main player of the Yue family, Yue Guangzhong, stood beside Anton Yaoji and said slowly.
"To get to the Shimomurakan, is there any other route besides this road?" Anton Yaoji then asked.
"There is another way, which is to go east to Yatachigan and then to Shimomurakan." Hikari said slowly.
Anton Yaoji nodded, and then said, "Where are the Tsugawa family's troops now?" ”
"I just received information from the detective that the Tsugawa family's forces have retreated from Nagaseno and are currently retreating to the Shimomurakan." Toshima Shigemura said on the side.
"Well, send an order to the Akao Tsu family and the Corn family, let them go with their troops, and when the time comes, we will attack the lower village pavilion in two ways." Anton Yaoji said loudly.
"Hah!"
Thousands of troops from the Anto family and the Yuri Party are heading towards Nagaseno. After the heavy rain, the roads along the way have long been muddy, and it is very difficult to move.
"Ahh A peasant soldier slipped and let out a scream.
Anton Yaoji rode on his horse and looked at the ashigaru who was struggling to move around him, Anton Yaoji frowned and said, "This damn rainstorm, can't you get along with us sincerely?" ”
"If we go on like this, when we get to Shimomurakan, what combat power does Ashigaru have at all?"
While speaking, a war horse under the crotch of a flag next to Anton Yaoji slipped and almost collided with Anton Yaoji.
"My lord, the road is muddy, and it is not convenient for the war horses to pass, so don't get off the horse and walk." Qiben said on the side.
"Well, then dismount." With that, Anton Yaoji got off the horse.
Anton Yaoji shouted loudly at the ashiki around him: "Cheer me up!" Speed up! ”
"Hah!" In response to him, there were light, limp voices around him.
Half an hour later, Anton Yaoji and the others finally arrived in Nagaseno. It was not a long distance, but it was a long time.
"How long will it take to get to Shimomurakan?" Anton Yaoji panted and said to Iwaya Asamai beside him. Anton Yaoji is also old, and he is usually used to being pampered, but after walking for such a long time, Anton Yaoji feels that his leg is about to break.
Iwaya Asamori hurriedly replied, "If you continue to the east for another 10 miles, you will reach the outside of the Shimomurakan, and according to our current marching speed, it is estimated that it will take about an hour to arrive." ”
"Brother, do you want the ashigaru to stop and fix for a while?" Anton Yuji said on the side.
This time, Anton Youji went to battle with the army, and Anton Tongji stayed in Minato City to preside over the overall situation, dispatch supplies, and so on.
"It's fine." Anton Yaoji nodded, "The herald rests on the spot." It's not that Anton Yaoji and Anton Youji are really so considerate, it's that the two of them really can't walk. Anton Yuji is not even as good as Anton Yaoji, he is used to being a samurai master in Minatojo, and suddenly he came to such a situation, and Anton Yuji already regretted why he didn't stay in Minatojo.
"Hah!"
With Anton Yaoji's order, the exhausted ashigaru people were finally able to rest.
.................
"My lord, the enemy army has arrived in Nagaseno and is currently resting." In the dense forest behind a mountain 2 miles south of Nagaseno, Takahashi Xingke came to Tsugawa Soji's side and said slowly.
Hundreds of troops of the Tsugawa family are ambushed here. The Tsugawa family's most elite five-color bibi is the yellow and white bibi here.
"My lord, did you let us stay here just to launch a sneak attack on the enemy?" Hiroya Yoshikawa asked from the side.
Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "The surprise attack is certain, but not now. ”
"When was that?" Hiroya Yoshikawa continued to ask.
Soji Tsugawa shook his head and said, "The time has not yet come, so be patient and wait." ”
Seeing that Tsugawa Soji was reluctant to say more, the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family had no choice but to shut up.
..............
Half an hour later, in the main formation of Nagaseno Anton Yaoji, Anton Yaoji said to Iwaya Asamomori and Mitsushige Takoshi beside him, "The Tsugawa family's troops have now been assembled in the Shimomurakan, and according to the previous information, the Tsugawa family's troops in the Shimomurakan should be around 1,000 people." Moreover, in the area of Bai Zeyuan, there is still a force left to defend the head of the lower village and others in the south. So there should be less than 800 people in Shimomurakan, and we have 2,000 people. ”
"Now that the ashigaru people are almost rested, let's go now!"
"Hah!"
The forces of the Anto family and the Yuri party set off again, and after Nagaseno continued to move towards the lower village building, it was a mountain road, and the road was even more difficult to walk.
Halfway through the journey, Anton Yaoji took the lead and couldn't resist, and held a flag book and said to Anton Youji, "Youji, I can't walk." "After all, I'm 50 years old, and my physical strength can't keep up at all.
"The first 5 miles is the Shimomurakan, why don't you set up this formation here, and let us command the troops to continue the attack?" Iwaya Asahi said at this time.
Anton Yaoji thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then set up this formation here." ”
"Youji, you and your 800 troops, you march with Iwaya Asamomori and Takoshi Mitsushige. Once you arrive at Shimomurakan, don't attack yet. After waiting for Bai Zeyuan's Shimomura Sect Chief and others and Ya Liyuan's Akao Tsuieho and others to arrive, they attacked Shimomurakan from three sides. When the time comes, Tsugawa Soji and others will be unable to escape! Anton Yaoji said to Anton Yaoji.
"Yes!"
After a short time, Anton Yaoji's main formation was set up, and after leaving 400 people to defend the main formation, the remaining 1,600 troops began to continue to march towards the lower village hall under the leadership of Anton Yaoji, Iwaya Asamomori, and Takoshi Mitsushige.
....................
Shimomurakan, Nagano Masato stood on the castle tower, and after reading the letter in his hand, Nagano Masafu's face changed, and he said to Tozawa Moritsuna beside him, "Lord Tozawa, this is the lord's order, take a look." ”
"Good!" Tozawa Moritsuna took the letter from Nagano Masafu's hand, and after reading it in detail, he asked puzzledly, "Why did the lord let us retreat with great fanfare after the enemy army arrived at the Shimomurakan?" ”
"And let's ignore the enemy's pursuit, and wait for the enemy to retreat before turning in pursuit?" Tozawa Moritsuna looked confused.
Nagano Masabo's expression was not much better, he shook his head and said, "I don't understand the lord's plan either, but since the lord said so, there is naturally a reason for the lord." Let us do as the Lord commands. ”
"That's all there is to it." Tozawa Moritsuna nodded and said.
It didn't take long for the forces of the Anto family and the Yuri Party to meet the eyes of Nagano Masabo and others.
"Here, Nagano-sama, are you retreating?" Tozawa asked from the side.
Nagano Masabo shook his head and said, "The enemy army has just arrived at the Shimomurakan, so I want to rest for a while, wait for the enemy to attack, and then retreat!" ”
"Good!"
Outside the Shimomura Pavilion, Anton Yuki looked at the Shimomura Pavilion not far away, and said to Iwaya Asamomori and the others beside him with a smile on his face, "Iwaya-sama, my brother asked us to wait here for Akaotsu-sama and Shimomura-sama, are we really waiting here?" ”
